| description | Abstract Background Granulomatous rosacea is a rare chronic inflammatory skin disease with an unknown origin. The role of Demodex follicularum in its pathogenesis is currently proved. Case presentation We report a case of a 54-year-old Moroccan man with a 3-month history of erythematous, nonpruritic papules on the lateral side around the eyes. Dermoscopy and histology confirmed the diagnosis of granulomatous rosacea. Conclusions We describe another clinical presentation of granulomatous rosacea with a clinical-dermoscopic-pathological correlation. |
